Alex, my car will be ready soon I'll be happy to run you with that as well, but we'll have to find a very special location. I dont have license plate anymore, parachute mount went where it used to be

we came by on Friday to call you out but you were gone. we wanted to race to thunderhill and back - instead we watched someone align exhaust tips for an hour.... no wonder you didn't want to come back to the shop.

Have you run the monkeymobile since it has returned?

Really looking forward to seeing the car back in action. I've always had a real personal attachment to it. It really is something else to drive that car.Edit: Dave is that the same car that burned up? Or did you replace it? Insurance finally quit hassling you?
